Luigi's Mansion 3 is the third of the Luigi's Mansion games (thanks Captain Obvious) that came to Nintendo that feature Mario's skinnier, taller and higher jumping brother that dresses in green. This is also the first of the Luigi's Mansion games I played, as I didn't play the first two (and I will at some point.) However just because it's the first doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it! I thought it was a well made game! What made it well made? Let's go below!
Positives:
1. Graphics- One thing from the Mario games I wondered was how were the graphics going to be with Luigi's Mansion. Needless to say Nintendo hit it out of the park and did really, really well with every level, every boss, making it look like a spooky game when it was and so much more. Well done on Nintendo's part overall.
2. Luigi- They made Luigi really well in this game I thought. He was scared, then hurried, then confident, and he was battle tested I thought. To be honest, I think they couldn't have made him better if they tried and I think that goes a long way overall.
3. Music- It's spooky, it's good, it makes you feel like you are about to come to something horrendous which epitomizes a spooky game. Nintendo did very well to make this a spooky game with a spooky atmosphere.
4. The Doctor- You can't understand anything he is saying, but he is a fun guy to have in the party and that's all that matters. Overall I loved the doctor in this game and it was a lot of fun playing and talking to him all the time.
5. Upgrades- They don't happen all at one time like some games. They happen naturally and with progression in the story. That to me is something that you can get behind and have fun with overall. Overall I found that to be really good in the sense of the game.
6. Story- Yes the story is straight forward but the road to get there is fun. I always felt a challenge that I needed to accomplish. I didn't feel the challenges were overly difficult or that they were overly easy. They had a good difficulty and you would be good with this.
Negatives:
1. Length of gameplay- IF there is a negative it is that this game takes too long with too much backtracking and that is the main reason for the game being so long. There are a few times you have to go back to the office the Doctor puts together which they should have just made a teleport option, then you have to backtrack a couple of times for a couple enemies. That just added time in my point of view that was a bit unnecessary.
Overall Rating
I would highly recommend Luigi's Mansion 3 to anyone really if they don't mind playing a longer game than typically usual. If you are okay with that, then the game is just fine. I feel they did a lot more right as noted than wrong and that is what a game that is great does. This is a great game, well worth the warranting mention and accolades.
Overall Rating: 9 out of 10, if length was shorter by 2-3 hours with not much backtracking, it'd be a 10.
The game is great ,but I wouldn't call it the best in the series. my main problems with are
ReplyDeleteCombat being repetitive(more so than usual) and ending too quickly.
The over reliance of the blue ghosts that don't really change at all throughout the game.
King Boo not really doing anything until the literal end of the game.
and the ScareScraper having less content from Dark moon.
I don't know if it is or isn't nor said that it was the best in the series, as I haven't played the other two games so I don't have a good picture yet on which is the best. For the rest of what was said, most games these days I am noticing are kind of repetitive in different fights (and to be honest most RPG's have had that.) so I didn't mention it. I just thought it was really well done as a game.
